Preserving
and Protecting Items of Personal and Historical Significance

Is the
item or what it represents important?

If the item is most important - don't
display or use it - consult a professional conservator as to the
best way to keep safe for future generations. Don't wait until it
shows signs of age, this indicates damage has already occurred.
If what the item represents is more important, consider
recreating/reconstructing or restoring.

Today Is
Tomorrow's History:

Today's documents, photos, and
everyday items will be future generation's history. Take this
into consideration when storing the video of Janie' marriage, the
photo of 4 living generations, or even your accumulated genealogy
and records.
